Possession Eviction Related

Where the Tenant fails or refuses to leave there are only two forms of Eviction Notice to end the Tenancy. The Section 21 process is an easier process as it is a postal request for a mandatory possession, whereas with the Section 8 process attendance in court is required and whilst the Landlord can seek possession and damages, the outcome is far from guaranteed.
